Nature Care Challenge | October 2021: Make a Shelter for Small Animals.

Posted on October 1, 2021March 2, 2022 by Malu

Here in Europe, winter is sending polite little reminders of it coming to see us soon-ish. The trees are still green but the nights are getting pretty cold already. Soon the leaves will be falling and covering everything, protecting the micro life below from the harshest frost (Little nudge not to rake leaves unless necessary)….

Nature Care Challenge | April 2021: Quit Fast Fashion

Posted on April 1, 2021October 18, 2021 by Malu

Hello lovely people! So Germany, where I live, has been on partial lock down since almost half a year now. Everything being closed, one would think, should make Shop Stop very easy. And still I found myself seduced by pretty things on the internet and buying them. And then I got scammed. Not a big…

Posted on February 10, 2021October 18, 2021 by Malu

It snowed! It’s cold! And I decided to get back into the habit of having fruit for breakfast. There is not a lot of fruit in the middle of winter but thankfully the freezer is full of things from when the garden was full of food. I just made something with what I had, and…

11 Food-Blogs for Overwhelmed Vegan Beginners

Posted on January 16, 2021October 18, 2021 by Malu

Veganism saves the planet. Omitting animal products from your diet helps prevent loss of habitat, climate change, water pollution and animal cruelty. So the obvious thing to do is be as vegan as you can. But it can be so hard! Especially when you don’t have any inspiration on what to eat and you are…

About me

My name is Malu. I am a conservation-ecologist currently living in Germany. I’ve always been wild about the outdoors and can spend hours looking at an insect labouring away at its daily challenges, or a bird building its nest, or … there’s just so much amazing stuff happening out there! I’m really glad you’ve made it onto this page so I can share my joy with you.

Monthly Challenges

We only have about 6 to 8 years left to turn this environmental mess of a ship around. So much has to happen politically, but the people also need to change habits and start to appreciate our environment more. So every 1st of the month I post a nature care challenge with environmentally friendly lifestyle choices of habits for you to try for 30 days and, if you like, let it stick with you for longer, maybe even for life.

Lots of little droplets make up the largest ocean.

Are you absolutely unable to do the current challenge? Or maybe you are underwhelmed with the challenge and want an extra one? Check out the previous challenges to see if there is something you would like to try.

The challenges  make up the major part in the flow of posts here, so they are easy to find. But if you want to get a good overview of the challenges set so far, simply follow the link below.

Do you want to set next month’s sustainability challenge?

Contact me and pitch your challenge to me. It might be up next month. You can either write the whole challenge, and why we should do it, or just give me an idea for something to look into.
